What is the name of your state? Colorado

Prior to purchasing vacant land to build a house we looked at all easements associated with the property. One was a bridge easement for specific people and specific lots who do not own the lots anymore. The easement location was defined according to a exhibit which was never filled, not did the grantees sign the easement. The current owner now owned all the involved lots and redefined the easement for sewer and water and limiting the size to 10 foot wide. In addition he created another ingress egress easement for emergency access, installation, maintenance of utilities signages and a mailbox to grantee of two specific lots. Also at our insistance it stated grantor & grantee shall not interfere with theold large tree located within the easement. We were also told by owner that bridge construction to access the other lots was an easement on the neighbors property, not ours lots and which also was told to new owner of the other lots across the creek.

now it appears that the neighbor is attempting to restrict the bridge use to only the lots listed in their easement. So developer is wanting to use our ingress egresss easement to construction a bridge across the creek right in front of our driveway, and any construction is sure to kill the large tree located on the easement. Easement of necessity being claimed but has assess elsewhere.

So can he use this easement to construct the bridge and possibly kill our tree, would he be also limited to the grantees specific lots only since he wants to develop mulitple units thereby placing the same restriction on him as our neightbor did? It's a mess all right!What is the name of your state?

You are right it is a mess and no one here can settle the issue. Speak with an Atty and see what can or can not be done about the situation.
